According to new research from the National Lottery, 39% of people would opt to become a part-time globetrotter if they won the top prize of €20,000 a month for 30 years in the new EuroDreams game while 15% admitted they would take the opportunity to never have to clean their house themselves ever again.

The findings were released ahead of tickets for the National Lottery’s newest game, EuroDreams, going on sale this Monday 30th October costing €2.50 per line. EuroDreams is an exciting new draw-based game that will offer an annuity top prize of €20,000 every month for 30 years.

When it comes to improving the nation’s cooking skills, the majority chose Gordon Ramsay for lessons (33%) while Jamie Oliver was the second-best choice (19%) and 13% of people chose Nigella Lawson. 

The first EuroDreams draw will take place on Monday 6th November marking the first annuity type game of its’ kind in Ireland. 

When Dublin Drag Diva, Davina Devine, was asked how she would spend the prize if she were to win big, she said:

"If I hit the jackpot, my first stop would be a world tour in style - no more economy class for me! I'd visit every country on my bucket list and turn my travel dreams into reality, like my own version of 'Eat, Pray, Love', exploring the world, one delicious meal and experience at a time."

Nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on all National Lottery games goes back to Good Causes in the areas of sport, youth, health, welfare, education, arts, heritage, and the Irish Language. In total more than €6 Billion has been raised for Good Causes since the National Lottery was established 36 years ago. In 2022 alone, €259 million was raised for local Good Causes in communities across Ireland.
